The way we work
We are convinced that the secret of successful collaboration lies in open dialogue, the willingness to grow beyond oneself and to embrace new things together.
Honest, direct communication, short paths, open doors:
to ensure that not every unusual idea is stifled in coordination processes.
Leadership and living culture
We live a culture of trust. Our internal and external relationships are based on this for the long term: We want to grow and learn together. This is only possible in an open and respectful work environment. Our management is designed to ensure that everyone can work as independently as possible, act proactively and see themselves as the vital part of the whole that they are. Honest and direct communication is a natural part of the culture.
True team spirit avoids an elbow mentality and instead emphasises fairness, openness and a healthy error culture. We pull together, support each other and communicate at eye level. It is important to us that communication has no hierarchical boundaries. You can talk to your colleagues, exchange ideas and contribute ideas at any time, regardless of the level.
Even if you want the same thing, you don't always agree. Friction is part of growing personally and as a company. We view such conflicts as an opportunity to engage in fruitful dialogue and find new solutions together. If conflicts do arise which cannot be resolved easily, we have professional support at hand. Because only those who feel comfortable can realise their full potential.
Shape together
We want to achieve what moves us. To realise this, we need your knowledge, your commitment and your willingness to take on responsibility. Together, we set ambitious goals and support you in achieving them. Regular reflection and feedback are a natural part of this and help to enable productive teamwork.
How does this look in concrete terms? For example, regular CTMs (internal abbreviation for Cooler Themes Marketplace), team meetings and stand-ups offer you a forum for your creativity and creative drive. Weekly, personal discussions with your team lead provide you with the necessary orientation, ensure a shared view of things and thus create room for manoeuvre. Company-wide, the regular get-together ensures the necessary transparency at all levels.
Good infrastructure with professional methods
Continuous Innovation
Our own core technology, disy Cadenza, forms the basis for our solutions. At the centre of our work is iterative and customer-driven development. We actively seek innovation and often go to the limits of the technically possible - always in such a way that the new and the existing form a unit and a stable overall system is created.
Our approach to development
An important component of our development culture are code reviews. Supported by modern tools, every new development and every change is subjected to a lightweight review. This is not just about preventing bugs and achieving high code quality - we use this tool in particular to disseminate knowledge and learn from each other.
Every bug results in a root cause analysis to find out the actual causes. Appropriate measures not only eliminate the symptom, but also ensure that our quality standards are maintained in the long term. We use many open source frameworks and libraries. It is important to us to give something back to the community in the form of bug fixes and improvements.
However, we continuously evaluate our third-party dependencies and switch to newer approaches whenever we think it makes sense. In the process, we do not blindly follow every trend or statically adhere to the same procedures, but rather help ourselves to the buffet of possibilities and only adopt what has proven itself and gives us a good feeling.
